State and local regulators are fielding relatively few complaints since Connecticut-based Frontier Communications took ownership of Verizon's old Northwest territories at the start of the month.

One notable exception: DVR addicts.

Frontier's $8.6 billion deal bought it most of Verizon's operations in the western U.S. That includes 300,000 Oregon phone lines, plus the the FiOS cable TV and high-speed Internet system that serves Portland's suburbs.

It was a massive transition for Frontier, which tripled in size in one stroke and took on Verizon's advanced residential fiber network. Local regulators were initially skeptical of the deal, but approved it after Frontier agreed to various consumer protections.

Almost two weeks in, the transition appears pretty smooth. State regulators tell me they have fielded only two calls, both on the first day, when Verizon and Frontier customer service reps referred callers to one another -- evidently confused over who now controls the territory.

FiOS customers have had generally few complaints, according to regulators, with one notable exception: DVRs, which have two separate limitations.

First: Shortly before the transition, Verizon put new limits on the TiVo multi-room feature, preventing viewers from recording a cable TV program on their TiVo in one room and then playing the show on a TiVo in a different room.

I sat down last week with Frontier FiOS GM Chris Rittler, visiting Oregon from the company's Connecticut headquarters. He said Verizon made the change based on concerns expressed by the cable networks. TiVo boxes require permission to transmit copies of a recorded program to multiple sets. The networks want to limit the number of copies to prevent unauthorized distribution.

Frontier is still talking with the networks, but Rittler gave the clear impression that his company will work within their limitations.

"They have their requirements and our plan is to be a good partner to those content providers," he said.

That's frustrating to Dave Roznar, a West Hills FiOS subscriber who likes to shift a program recorded in the family room to watch in the bedroom while falling asleep. Roznar tells me he can't get a clear answer from Frontier's customer service reps as to whether it will be addressed.

"I don't care that it's not resolved next week," he said. He just wants an answer.

A second issue is that Frontier doesn't allow subscribers to program their FiOS DVRs online, the way Verizon did. Frontier tells me that "only a small handful of customers" used that feature, and that there are no specific plans to restore it. (Coincidentally, Comcast just added that feature.)

More tests for Frontier are coming shortly, state regulators say, as the first bills start going out this month for the old Verizon accounts.
